Ursidinoj/The BjornsdottirsI once ended up in a Telegram group entitled something involving Terkonuso, meaning in Esperanto slagheap or earth cone. The person who invited me identified himself as Russian. I can't really speak as to what the discourses were, but I think there was occupationism.
If you are someone who can read Esperanto, it's interesting to look through, if only because it seems to be uninterrupted pro-Russian propaganda. #lang_en #RUPol #UAPol #RussianPropaganda
flo"Research into contemporary Russia remains overlooked in spite of the current situation in Europe. While this issue persists, it will be impossible to truly understand the threat posed by the Kremlin not only to Ukraine but the entire continent.
(...)
The full-scale invasion of Ukraine – long regarded in the West as impossible, irrational and absurd – nevertheless took place. Today, the media reports that Russia has for years been cooperating with and financing far-right political movements, while also helping them achieve electoral success in countries like Germany, Romania and Moldova. It has been recruiting refugees to destabilize host societies, violating national borders, and consistently carrying out hybrid and cyber attacks. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has now publicly warned that within the next five years, Russia could launch a military assault on European members of the Alliance.
Is Europe ready to face Putin’s Russia? Does it truly understand its enemy? That is a complex question. On one hand, European leaders now issue strong statements about increasing defence spending; Russian threats are a regular topic at conferences; and think tanks routinely expose Moscow’s influence operations across the continent. Finally, there seems to be a broad consensus that the Kremlin is a dangerous beast. But does Europe truly understand the nature of that beast?"

Dmitry TantsurToday in "#Russia's helpful bastards": #Revolut started blocking accounts of Russian opposition activists who are declared "terrorists" by the regime.

This is so hopeless. While the talking heads in the TV halfheartedly mention the threat from #Putin, everyone else just could not care less. It's not even a question of profit: Raiffeisen earns a lot there, Apple and Revolut - hardly anything. Corporate indifference. Ukraine is too far away.
Банк Revolut заблокировал счета троим сотрудникам ФБК
Онлайн-банк Revolut заблокировал счета троим сотрудникам ФБК — ведущим «Популярной политики» Руслану Шаведдинову и Дмитрию Низовцеву, а также продюсеру канала «Навальный LIVE» Нине Волохонской. О блокировке в своем аккаунте в соцсети X рассказал сам Шаведдинов.

- #Putin beweist leider anhand dessen.Gebahren in der #Ukraine dass dessen Wort nicht gilt und nur direkte, nonverbale #Konsequenzen etwas ändern.
Und wenn das bedeutet dass in Tallinn und Helsinki Pershing-II stehen dann hat er sich dies selbst zuzuschreiben.
- Gerade weil das alles vermeidbar wäre hätte er nicht das #BudapesterMemorandum verletzt und hätten die anderen Garantenmächte (#US & #UK) bei der Erstverletzung direkt interveniert.
Ich hätte auch lieber lustig nen "#NattōStattNATO!"-Sticker, aber leider ist das mit dem Putin-Regime eine "NOPE!"
